1990 good !
I went to all of the Albany and Nassau runs Carter-Finley stadium in the summer and this second night at Richfield Coliseum and all of those and this one
...
were really good , This first part of the tour with Vince before Bruce joined at the Garden is different than when Bruce left because Jerry was consistently on through out '91 , and it was before Vince played in the shadow of Bruce , don't get me wrong , with Bruce yet another great incarnation of the band . the one that gets the most recognition after Jerry's death sort of leaving these shows in its shadow . Vince probably didn't really need any help but it surely would be overwhelming especially if you hadn't really ever listened to their entire like the fans. Brent said in like '83 there were still a lot of fans who had seen more shows than he had . There was a lot of emotion these shows and the jubilant parking lot party like when your team wins ,but everyone was a winner , and was Satisfied , I wasn't thinking "that show sucked" nor was anyone else I was with . Each time there is a lineup change there the area like the small par of the hour glass where it goes thru to emerge on the other side .

It's great to get to hear a Miller/SBD of this show.
Richfield is known for being the first shows with Vince, and this night for the jam out of Terrapin. There's way more here. The short time in the
...
summer of '90 when we didn't know the fate of the band, was quickly steamrolled forward into new-guy curiosity. I recall an optimism that the band knew best and made the correct emotional decision. Of course today, with all the biographies that have come out, we might second-guess some of those decisions. I was a big Brent fan and never entirely got used to Vince, though listening to this show there's no denying his talent throughout, and that he played well, pre-Bruce. What incredible pressure to step out in front of a sold-out coliseum, with serious fans that you know are listening closely to what you play. Getting tapes of the Richfield shows and hearing the trial-by-fire was a big thing for a couple months in '90. You can tell that a challenge at least as big as a new keyboardist, was the tweaking and adjusting from the sound crew (the AUDS show that Vince was brought up in the mix a bit on the 2nd night). The shakeup supposedly created a fuck-it/anything goes approach for awhile (and with this band, that contrarily meant these shows were woodshedded and setlisted). Maintenance opiate users rarely OD but fame has been known to be mistaken extra invincibility. We now know that Jer really took Brent's death hard, and addicts specifically have one reliable coping mechanism. The whole turnover was so fast and IMO it was at this point that the Dead took on the semblance of an unstoppable machine that didn't have all the same reasons for being as it did just a few short years prior - health and scene be damned. A tough time and a weird time, but yet lots of positive group vibes in response. It was delicious to hear this tape (though my copy was lower Gen) and hear just how good the good old new Grateful Dead sounded. At that point I was really wishing I'd had the wherewithal to plan the Paris & London shows (or one of the smaller Euroshows), instead of waiting until December. First Set. Starts strong, with Hellina heavy on swimming and tinkering the sound - keepin' it fresh. Sugaree with Vince is sorta bouncy and...one of the best of the 90s! I crap you negative. Minglewood spirals ether-ish and you might think Deal is just average when it starts but you won't be saying that 5 minutes later. This isn't a typical 90s warm-up 1st set AT ALL; it's an Ohio temblor. Second Set. Is there an Eyes that ever sounded quite like this? The Watchtower is great (if not quite the one from the earlier Albany run), and the jam out of Terrapin is good (it used to circ as filler), though there are many better examples. For this set it really depends what you like - it's more experimental than most '90 (and quite rough in places: Stella, Stones), but doesn't have the flash of the 1st set. It has unusual length and textures and is yr GOGD, but gimme the 1st set (+ Eyes), which surpasses the more-collected MSG '90s (except for 9/20). Those excitable MSG '90 shows were all about "Dude, they're back!", as good word ricocheted across the land, but there were other great late '90 sets, as evidenced here in what could have been rough-hewn and excusably so. This show was followed by a run at the Philly Spectrum. 1st Set: A- 2nd Set: C Overall = 4 stars Highlights: Sugaree - possibly the best of the Vince era New Minglewood Blues - best-of-year ripper Queen Jane Approximately - never more solid Deal - Jer in focus Eyes of the World - a unique-sounding, best-of, 17-minute version All Along the Watchtower - Jimi who? SOURCES: The miller_92241 sounds best, with great freq representation across the board - except the keyboards, which are mixed too high in the 2nd set (which isn't the case on the AUDs). The jam out of Terrapin is on So Many Roads. The hansokolow97359 is a great matrix (but loses Phil somewhat in places).

"If I have to explain, you won't understand"? Well, I understood clearly after this masterpiece. It was the best of the 48 total shows I attended- including the 8 Garcia Band shows. This musicasl experience was magic in its entirety.

up front wanted to make room to dance so they started making a rather large pile of the chairs that the venue had placed down there for seating. It was quite a scene. Great times!

as the boys roll out a tight set of old standards and carry Vince along. Loser, Cassidy -> Deal a very nice way to end Set I. Set II speaks for itself. Stellar Terrapin. Stellar Stella! RE: Cheer during Eyes - Listen to the AUD. The house PA system drops out during the "wonderin where the nuthatch winters" line. The audience is simply reacting to this brief technical glitch. This isn't evident on the SBD. http://www.archive.org/details/gd1990-09-08.nak300.bleich.sirmick.101148.flac16
